I noticed 13-year-old Cole Arseneau sitting in a car, staring into space while we were interviewing voters about the Iraq war at a Chevron station near Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. Cole was on his way to see his dad, a soldier stationed at Fort Drum, N.Y., and Cole's dad was on his way to serve in the Iraq war for the third time. When I asked him how he felt about it, Cole said he was "excited, scared and proud."
